Metal work: Annabelle Baldero Lacuna

DIY metal work has been all over the blogosphere for some time now, and is set to be a huge trend on the high-street for A/W10. I've seen studding, sequins, chain mail and many more connotations however Annabelle Baldero Lacuna is using an everyday object to adorn her garments - the household keyring! It works to great effect, especially featured around the lapels of a jacket and dangling from a capped sleeve. I'm not so keen on the amount Lacuna uses, however this could work perfectly for a cheap DIY for A/W.

EDIT: Annabelle has kindly sent me her lookbook and inspirations:

I have created a women's collection called "One in a millions" which consists of 10 outfits. In my collection I mix well known elements like tribal tattoos and metal rings to a new look. Elements which are in general perceived as being tacky and tasteless fascinate me (like the tribal tattoos). I tried to give them a more desirable and a new look- so for example I knitted two dresses with a tribal tattoo relief-like pattern, which is very subtle, I lasercut necklaces, belts and earrings in the same shape and I took the accessorizing with rings to new level and let the gold and silver rings go all over the body. My collection consists of wool/cashmere, leather, fur, metal rings and non-woven materials as well.

I like to play with the idea with what is perceived as being good taste/bad taste- it is a challenge for me to turn tacky perceived elements into something new and wait for the reactions of the looker. To see if the looker is surprised by the new context and maybe even likes it- or not. I want the viewer to take a second look to understand what he/she is seeing. In my opinion there is no such thing as bad taste- it depends in which context you see it and I personally do not like the easy way.
